hunting patrol [closed]

After spending a morning leisurely wandering around camp, poking her head into the various dens and chatting with Clanmates, it was finally time for a patrol. Eager to get out into the territory, Violetfall trotted to the apprentice den, alerting Hazelpaw and Ridgepaw that the patrol was leaving soon. She settled peacefully near the camp entrance to wait for the two young she-cats.

Yawning, Hazelpaw smiled with bleary eyes at nothing in particular, stretching stiff limbs and walking out. Another red day; he had become accustomed to the atmosphere of unease, to the point where it hardly fazed him when he stared up at the hidden sun, heard the murmurs around the camp. It would be over soon. Trotting over to the camp's entrance, where Violetfall was situated, he nodded his head friendly at the she cat. "Good morning, Violetfall!" he mewed cheerfully.

Her little ears twitched as she heard the voice of the older she-cat. Her head lifted and as caught sight of Violetfall's tail as she padded away. Slowly, she rose to her paws and stretched out sleep-rested muscles and padded towards the camp entrance with a small yawn. Her hazel eyes bright and full of curiousity beneath the dim red sky.
"Where're we gonna hunt today Violetfall?" She asked. Her mind spun with different locations that they could be going. Would it be fallen log? Or maybe snakerocks? She'd hardly been there, and she leapt up next to Hazelpaw with a bright smile. "Maybe we can catch something fun! Like a frog or a rabbit!"

Violetfall smiled and shook her head at the two cheerful apprentices. "Good morning, you two," she greeted them. "You can hunt whatever you like, Ridgepaw. We're going to hunt in a nice little clearing in the territory, and I'm sure we'll find plenty of prey there." Having said this, she beckoned for the young she-cats to follow her as she set out for their destination. Her smile faded a little bit as she trotted steadily into ThunderClan territory. She couldn't help but think of Hazelpaw, whom she had also helped to train. The apprentice had met a tragic end on the Thunderpath moons ago, but hunting with this new, young, bright Hazelpaw brought to mind the memory of an old friend.

"Here we are!" she called, motioning with her tail for Hazelpaw and Ridgepaw to stop. She scanned the forested area, satisfied that this would be a good place to hunt. She nodded at the two apprentices, indicating that they should begin, and she herself crept into the trees to her left where she had already caught the scent of a mouse. After a moment's pause, she gave chase, dashing off into the underbrush. A few heartbeats later, she emerged, the small rodent dangling from her jaws. Scuffing dirt over it, she turned and trailed behind the apprentices to observe their catches.

"Anything I want? Awesome. I bet I'll catch the biggest bird in all of ThunderClan!" Ridgepaw declared loudly in excitement as she looked around the tree tops for the aforementioned bird. Among the silence of the trees, she heard the tell tale sounds of tiny claws scuffling on the forest floor. Soft 'ticks' of a bird's beak as it tapped at the ground, likely feeding off insects that were scampering around. She licked her lips and crouched her body down low to the ground. Her hazel eyes looking through each leaf until she saw it. The bird itself was a thrush. A large bird, though not the largest in the forest as she claimed. Then again, she supposed the largest would be an owl. Perhaps a bit too much for her to handle as she crept forward. Her ears pricked and tail steady.

She made her leap, then yowled with a cringe as her paw swatted a thorn before it reached the fleeing bird as it flapped it's wings and hurried into the taller branches of the oak trees. Ridgepaw grimaced and padded gingerly around for a few moments until her paw felt a little bit less sore. Licking at it occaisionally and trying to ignore the flush on her pelt as she realised she had made a little bit of a fool of herself.
